The middle two are mine and the other four are my husband‘s . He‘s not even a reader! I‘ll have to leave him home next time 😆😜

Tamra I‘m anxious to hear about backyard birds chronicles! (edited) 1d

The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year | Margaret Renkl

pick

As I listened to this beautiful book of linked essays this week, construction started in earnest to build two homes on a tiny lot of land behind my home. What was wild and untamed and unruly is now shredded and torn and barren. Even as I write this, the rock-splitting equipment forges ahead. The timing of the book in my life is impeccable, and the book itself is a testament to the straight line from heart to nature.So good! I loved every word.♥️🌳

Laugh out loud moment when Renkl mistakes a vacuum cleaner clog for a long sought after owl pellet.

A “Hoover pellet.” 🤣🤣

jlhammar That part cracked me up 😆 Really enjoying reading a section/essay each week. 2mo

Tamra @jlhammar I‘m going to read it the same way - perfect! I have had some catching up to do though. (edited) 2mo

Mimi28 Sounds like a fun day! Happy birthday 🎁🎂🎉🎈🎊 Sooooo you‘re an Aquarius!! I knew there was something about you that made me feel comfy 😊 one of my best friends is an Aquarius but we drifted apart 😞 my dad and my brother are aqua‘s also and though there is not much contact I bonded with them well. I‘m a Pisces 2/28/76. I went to hs with a girl born on February 29th. Sorry to babble and I know this totally goes against all the religious stuff- 3mo

Books for Christmas aren‘t a guarantee for me. Most of my family aren‘t big readers (husband included). But a friend surprised me with the tagged, out of the blue. I didn‘t tell them I wanted it. We never had a discussion about it. But if you‘d asked me to name the ONE book I was most hoping to receive, it would‘ve been this one.

That‘s what friends are for. 💞

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate (& a dose of winter sparkle to everyone else)!

Tamra 👏🏾👏🏾 I really want to read this one too. 4mo

LeahBergen Mmm, stew… 😆 4mo

Today‘s post-therapy pick-me-up was this book. Described as a “literary devotional,” taking you through seasons, creatures, plants, and the ebb and flow of human rhythms. It sounds wonderful. And each chapter includes beautiful art. Perhaps something #NaturaLitsy would like. I especially thought of you, @monalyisha

jlhammar I‘m looking forward to this one. I loved

JamieArc @monalyisha I haven‘t read it, but reading reviews of her other book (Late Migrations), I do have high expectations for this one! 6mo

steph_phanie Hi! I have been thinking of gifting this to my bonus mom for her bday, but saw a review that mentioned it had a bunch of religious content. However, the review was unclear in what way. Do you mind commenting on that? 6mo

JamieArc @steph_phanie Hi! Your comment scared me because as an ex-vangelical I would be pretty sensitive to that, so I scoured the book for any religious content. There are short chapters that begin with “A Praise Song for…” but all have to do with nature. I could only find one reference to Song of Solomon that had to do with flowers. So no, no religious content! All about nature with lots of literary references. (edited) 6mo

steph_phanie @JamieArc Thank you so much for checking and responding to me!! 6mo

AllDebooks This looks great 👍 6mo
